Loose-nut fix
If your car or truck’s wheel nuts loosen frequently, try switching from flanged nuts to unflanged nuts. The unflanged nuts are shorter, which will let the axle thread more deeply into the nylon portion of the nut for a tighter hold. Another option is to switch to RPM nuts, which are self-locking because they’re solid nylon.
